title: Physical microenvironment of platelet membrane in acute myocardial infarction.
abstract: Patients with acute myocardial infarction have more reactive platelets than those from normal population. These pathological platelets had more viscous plasma membrane, as inferred from fluorescence polarisation studies, and a lower fusion activation energy (delta E) of the membrane, reflecting a higher degree of order within lipid-lipid interactions.
